    I find it REALLY strange people can complain about pelican. They've always delivered AMAZING customer service. Last time I ordered from them, they let me apply an email coupon that expired weeks earlier, no questions asked. Always received product in a few days, and no damage or anything, and I'm on the East coast! Pricing is high - only con I've experienced. But hey, THAT SERVICE, waffleswaffleswaffles.

    BavAuto is extremely expensive, IMO, and even though they're right in Manchester, NH it's not worth the long process over the phone to price match a full parts list, even though I get free overnight shipping cause I'm only 1.5hrs away. I ONLY use them if something breaks and I NEED it next day, since they do offer the price matching, and they'll match ANYONE (as long as identical brands).

    Now - BluntTech, oh boy. He's got my heart forever and always. He hooked me up last year ordering a SSK, iS skirts, and iS lip. Gave me a great price, not to mention the hand-written dick on my bag. Nice touch. He ships things extremely quick, and always has amazing pricing. When I worked at O'Reilly, I even got the company to start ordering direct through him, cause we didn't carry shit for BMW, and if we did, it was HORRIBLE quality. I order everything through him. Fast shipping and good prices. He knows how to run a business.

    Never used BMA or getbmwparts.com. I'll check them out, but really, Blunt is a super fair dude, and BavAuto can get me anything I need next day, without having to pay next day shipping. So I stick to them mostly.

            I agree with this. There site is very easy to navigate and user friendly. Pelican is typically my go to. I am by no means discrediting Blunt or any of the other good sources and why I have never ordered from there is a mystery to me. I'll make a point next time I need parts to try out Blunt since I have NEVER heard a negative thing about them on the forums.

            Have ordered from BavAuto in the past and while they have decent inventory, their prices are always much higher.
            Turner Motorsports is another I have got stuff in the past from but they seem to be geared towards late model BMW's.
            And even though a friend of mine works at ECS, I have never ordered from them. Heard to many bad things about long ship delays and other issues.

              bmwmercedesparts has the cheapest prices, period. And pretty much no matter what you order, shipping will be 9.25. I had a huuuuuge box of parts shipped to me for that price, its awesome. lol

              I do enjoy ordering from blunt every now and then as its only a 20 minute drive to pick stuff up.

                Pelican has good prices on Redline Oil. I will call it. They have a fridge with free soda while you wait for your part. Pretty cool. Nice people.
                I always try Blunt first for my E30 parts that are going to be shipped.
